Hellmuth Bets Out of Turn Twice, Still Wins
Level 20
: Limits 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Seven Card Stud
Phil Hellmuth: XxXx/K?10?5?3?/Xx
Esther Taylor: XxXx/7?Q?6?K?/Xx
Phil Hellmuth bet on fourth street and Esther Taylor called before both players checked on fifth.
Action was on Taylor on sixth, but Hellmuth led out with a bet. He took back the bet and Taylor checked, then put it back in the middle. Taylor called to seventh and action was still on her.
Hellmuth, though, led out again. Taylor checked, then folded.
"Kings up," Hellmuth said.
"He was excited," Brian Yoon replied.
